Message from the Management

3

The funeral service industry carries the most beautiful responsibility for society to take care people's journey of life, spread genuine kindness and attend to people's well-being, gathering up every speck of light in life. As a standard setter and integrator of China's funeral service industry, Fu Shou Yuan is always committed to "taking care life with life" in our warmest essence, creating the perfect grand finale for life with heartfelt services.

2022 was a year of both opportunities and challenges. In the face of China's rapid and intensive aging issue, Fu Shou Yuan shouldered an unshrinkable responsibility as a leading enterprise in the funeral service industry. For more than 20 years, we have been staying true to our corporate spirit of "Innovative, Genuine;Mindful and Sincere", practicing environmental, social and corporate governance responsibilities to proactively carry forward the zeitgeist of sustainable development, with ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) concepts deeply integrated intothe Group's development strategy, production and operations, in a bid to promote the healthy development of the funeral service industry.

Every journey ends at some point, and so as life. We believe that "farewell to the physical life, and continuation of the spiritual life", so the Group continues to innovate and expand its cloud series platform to provide comprehensive and heart-warming "farewell" services, applying new technology, new products and new models to pay reverence to every valuable life, so that the deceased can rest in peace and the living will be comforted.

As a "people-oriented and culture-rooted" enterprise, Fu Shou Yuan voluntarily assumes corporate, industry,social and history responsibility. In 2022, we continued to expand the scope of our public welfare services by engaging in assistance and poverty alleviation in many regions through Fu Shou Yuan Public Welfare Development Foundation. It is our aspiration to ride on the strength of public welfare undertakings to promote life education, so that more people can find warmth and strength even having to facelives, thus creating a better perception of life with Fu Shou Yuan's services.

We are well aware of the meaning of guarding life, and therefore have made endless effortsto nurture "life guardians", It is our commitment to ensure that people in Fu Shou Yuan remain true to their original aspirations through diversified training andsound career development system, with a view to empowering life with the strength of people in Fu Shou Yuan.

Under the backdrop of increasing public awareness of environmental protection and the dual carbon national goal (reaching carbon peakingand achieving carbon neutrality) that has been continuously promoted, Fu Shou Yuan keeps tapping the brand value in response to the national strategy of developing a "digital-based economy" and also in continuous pursuit of "Internet Thinking", integrating green technology in conventional businesses and promoting green funeral as a trendsetter for civilized sacrifices.

As an undertaker who deals with the departure of lives, we hope that all the work we go about will give more color, warmth and strength to life. In meeting the expectations of people for human rights, we have learnt to expect newborns with joy and send off the deceased with grace. In the future, as always, Fu Shou Yuan would bear the responsibilityof life which is something redeeming for all the divides between the living people and the deceased, so as to build a world that enjoys shared happiness.
